I’m not sure this is an exciting time. Unity has its flaws, but what made it great for me was that I was able to collaborate with a designer who didn’t know much about code, but he was able to go in and polish everything (UI and other animations, particles, layouts etc). Godot might have that, but it immediately starts with a bad impression (terrible non-native looking file browser), so I don’t have high hopes that this editor is anywhere near a good replacement for Unity. Something will emerge though. Hopefully.

After trying godot for 2 days, my thought is this: Godot 3D has most of features that unity has, but I haven't find a good volumetric lighting effect. Godot UI is better than Unity. Godot particle system is similar to unity but with a bit more options, but it seems to have less features than Unity's vfx graph. Godot editor runs faster than unity, but iterating stuff is slower than Unity: trying out different materials, different textures take more click, and Godot can't open more than one file directory. Godot's shader editor is slightly better than Unity, it has better customizable nodes. Converting shadertoy's shader to Godot is easier than to Unity. Godot switching "render pipeline" is easier than unity.

Unfortunately, I've been put in a position where I'll probably be porting the game I've been working on for so long from Unity into Godot.

If you look at Unity's scene tree you realise it looks a bit like this: Scene - GameObject - GameObject - MonoBehaviour In the end, that's a Tree diagram, but with limits like it has to have Scene as a root, and MonoBehaviour can only be a leaf without children, with GameObjects in between. The Godot version is much simpler, having nodes at each level, but the nodes are typed instead of being a generic container until you reach the MonoBehaviour. With that in mind it's easy to convert a Unity scene view into a Godot one. Often you even design your prefabs with a root GameObject that has some custom behaviour scripts, and then you put the 3D models, sound emitters, particles, and so on as children of that GameObject. The main difference to keep in mind is that you lift one of the behaviours up to replace the GameObject when you move to Godot. That and that you create subclasses of the more specific functions instead of making a generic MonoBehaviour that then hooks into other behaviours. If you can wrap your head around that you're well on your way to grok Godot. Of course, there's changes in the details of how things are done, but that's the main one that people tend to react to. I personally prefer Godot's version since it's a straight up implementation of a Tree data structure, used to make a Scene Tree. That's despite that I've not made anything at all in Godot really. And you can even structure a Godot scene tree to be essentially the same as Unity by making your scripts all extend the base Node and put them under a Node3D to act as the GameObject, at that point it's mostly a difference in function and property names.

Great video, wanted to go for unreal but I got crushed by it's size. You changed my mind and I'll probably stick to godot.

One of the cool things about Godot is if you wanted to make a game that's optimized for the Steam Deck, you could develop the game ON the Steam Deck.

This mass exodus to Godot also gives Godot an incentive to improve more and more (especially it's 3D side) until it becomes on-par with Unity and Unreal.

I used Unity for years as a hobby, but it's about time they got a wake up call. Originally, I switched from Unity to Godot, not because I hated Unity or anything, but because the Unity editor had trouble with running on lower end hardware. So, I couldn't do any programming if I was out of the house since my laptop at the time was really old and crusty. All of the recent bad decisions are why I'm not going back. If the Godot devs want to go in for the kill, they should give someone money to make something like RPG Builder for the Godot engine. That will help pull in more people from Unity.

Examining RGP Builder...some things you might wanna check out. - For dialogue editing, there's godot_dialogue_manager and Dialogic. - For BehaviorTree AI, there's beehave. - For a "skill system", there's godot-gameplay-systems (and probably others too). - For updating your game "live", that comes out-of-the-box in Godot. When debugging your game, any changes you make to the scene/scripts are synced in real-time to the separately executing debug game instance, so you are literally editing the raw scripts/scenes as the debugging game executes. That's why changes are "preserved" while debugging. Everything else seems like it would either already be available in Godot (for low-level features) or require someone to build up a massive Godot Addon that just includes a huge number of assets related to particle effects, animations, user interface elements, etc. Nothing of that scale is currently out there, but it would certainly be possible for the developer to port it to Godot and then put it up for sale on Itch (or for someone else to perform a similar task).

I've known of it for a while but never bothered trying it. Definitely gonna see what I can do here, thanks for the good starting boost!

Thank you. I hope all unity devs and people who started their game dev journey recently (like me) have a good time!

I LOVEEEEE the fact that godot does not have the billion useless features that unity has tbh, it makes everything make sense to me.

It has been a while since I checked in on Godot. It has come a long way! The migration from Unity to Godot is going to be a snap. Thanks!!

For me, the two biggest conceptual differences with learning Godot were that scenes are the same as prefabs (mentioned in this video, but could have been focused on more), and that 1 node = 1 component. In Unity and Unreal, a game object can have LOTS of components attached. In Godot, your base node will have a ton of child nodes each with exactly 1 behavior. This affects how you think about node hierarchies, class extension, and node references. I've found myself structuring things differently in Unity and Unreal after learning Godot. Previously, I was very stingy with game objects and would load them up with a ton of components, sometimes multiple copies of the same component class. When referencing them in another component, I'd just have to differentiate them by their data. But giving key behaviors their own game objects makes them much easier to find and distinguish in the scene.

The biggest blessing here for me, personally, is that professionally I need to focus on Python anyway, so switching to GDScript is a no-brainer, in spite of my previous experience with (and preference for) curly brace languages.

I haven't been this excited to learn a new engine since I first learned Unity in highschool 10 years ago.

I am now all in on Godot and will be donating regularly and figuring out how to rebuild my gamedev projects with Godot.

I'm still laughing at the choice of asset and how you just casually commented on that choice. Made my day. Looking forward to more transition videos :)

Thanks I’m becoming more and more comfortable with the change but I still recommend using unity for animations and movies

Coming from Cocos2D (like 10+years ago) the node/scene system is identical and very nice to use, loved it.. , then I moved to Unity, and now I guess to Godot :)

The guidance is appreciated! 👍

It's amazing how Godot works on Android so well

LOL, this is exactly the video I need. Of course you know that because that's why you made it, thank you.

I’m currently playing with flax engine, thank you for your videos.

Unity is inspiring us by promoting other game engines ✨✨✨⭐😊😊😊

On time! Make some more please really needed.

Just the video I was looking for 💪💪

If I made a Godot game, i would make a splash screen or put the logo all over in my game. I'm so happy to see all the new Godot support. 💕

FINALLY! A tutorial aimed specifically for Unity devs looking to switch

We just need more and more varied tutorials on Godot.

Thanks for making this!

Now this is what I'm talking about. Thanks man!

Love the channel and all the alternative engines you keep showing us. The one I'm most interested in is Flax. Wondering if you'd be willing to do a similar video on that or if you could point to some good resources for that. Thanks.

Would need to get a bit more hands on time, but I may consider it.

I'm not developing any game at moment, but a liked your video and downloaded Godot engine. Im a huge fan of Phaser engine philosophy, Godot seens have the same spirit. The opportUNITY showed and the commUNITY growed. PS: Im not a english native speaker.

I develop my next title in Bevy and so far it is stunning.

I feel kinda sad that I was starting to think learning Unity and getting hands dirty with C# in general. I feel glad though that I have already used Godot and it's having a massive rush of popularity. Amazing tutorial btw.

This is PERFECT Timing

GFS, you nailed it. Whom better to make such a video, given your experience with a plethora of engines and applications in general. And holy $#@+ thank you for showing that Godot is not GDScript vs C#--use the language that is best for the situation--code some in GDScript, C#, C++, and up until recently a visual script.

When I got into Godot there wasn't a lot of tutorials because the community was so small back then, hitting a wall take a lot of time to get over. As Godot get more popular and now if Unity's devs starting to switch over, it's gonna make life easier for both veteran and new indie devs. And oh boy, do I'm glad that i chose Godot over Unity.

Hi! Great overview, especially nice to see the explanation of nodes, as I never touched Godot before and wondered what is that and why do people say "it's all about nodes". I have a question: I am thinking on making an arcade racing game (think about smth like Crash Team Racing NF) with graphics of Sea of Thieves or maybe more low-poly. Before I thought about either using Unity or UE5, but Unity helped me a lot to consider finally abandoning it. Now my choice is between UE5 (I have 0 skills of C++ and UE5, so will have to learn. But it will probably suit my idea better) and Godot (I don't know Godot either, but I got a pretty decent knowledge of C# because of Unity and my own interest). Which one would you recommend me to choose considering all the pros and cons?

Super helpful. Thanks!

my god i love this channel

This is a great push for Godot and other open source engines. I always work only with free open source tools so I don't have to deal with such situations as with Unity/etc. ☝🧐👍

I am glad Unity lead me to learn about Godot

Mike my man, you're the beast now, totally on 🔥 What do you think, will ricitello step back?

Thank you for this! I just dumped Unity and was planning to go back to Unreal, but you've convinced me to seriously run with Godot instead. Liked and subscribed.

A lot of people doesn't know about Open 3D Engine which is an amazing open source engine. Made by Amazon and now under the Linux foundation. I hope in the near future for Godot and O3DE to be the industry standards. Let the big fat companies earn more money.

Great video. Actually quite informative, as I know about Godot, but have little hands on experience with Godot. The video is a bit rushed, but... I actually prefer it, as it get to results quicker and I can always rewind. Plus the enthusiasm is makes me want to try things. 2 points that I was expecting were: Godot used pixels in 2d so you can get PIXEL PERFECT that would be better then Unity and 2 there are importers to go from Unity to Godot in SECONDS. Maybe those point will be in a "Godot for Unity Developers with a existing project" video?
